In the movie Arachnophobia, a poisonous spider from some rain forest hitches a ride in an explorer's backpack and is carried back to the states where it mates with a regular house spider and poisonous spiders are loose on the world. Could that really ever happen?

No...no spider can kill so instantaneously...it's also not very likely that a tropical spider could breed with a spider from a temperate climate. They would probably be too different from each other and one would most likely try and eat the other before any kind of mating attempts were made. Even spiders of the same species are usually eaten while attempting, during, or after mating.

No. The most poisonous spiders are not that poisonous, except in Hollywood. Besides, only in Hollywood can two such variant species mate, or even want to.

Only in the Movies. It is a typical fabrication by the movie makers to create sensationalism. A Stupid Movie really.
